There Are Parts of a Traditional Wedding That Seem Exciting, but Deep Down, You Know It Isn’t Quite You
Instead, you want a day that feels like your love: where every moment is intentional, every memory is joyful, and every detail feels like home.
ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHERS
Banff, Kananaskis + Beyond
Hiking to a quiet overlook at sunrise, wrapping yourselves in a blanket, and saying your vows while the world wakes up.
Sharing a coffee by the lake and playing your favourite board game before heading into the mountains together.
Taking a helicopter ride up to the highest summit and saying your "I do's" with a once-in-a-lifetime view.
Escaping the city and enjoying a backcountry hut together, so far away from everyone else that you're in your own little world.
Spending day one of your elopement adventure just the two of you, the second day celebrating with your closest loved ones.

“Liz and Dom are so incredibly talented, but they’re also really great at cultivating an experience. Partnering with them for our special day was absolutely the right choice!”
“We never really had professional photos done and didn’t know what to expect or how to pose and they made us feel so comfortable!
On top of their major skills with photography, they are also just good people. Spending the day with them felt like having two close friends with us at our wedding. We had privacy at all the right moments and also fun conversation and laughs along the way.”
Destinee + Britanney

After working with Liz and Dom, we know without a doubt that we made the right decision to elope. We are so grateful they guided us along the way and made us feel so comfortable.
From the initial planning stages right up to our elopement day, the entire process was fantastic and low-stress. Our day was absolutely perfect and magical in every way. Liz and Dom exceeded every expectation we had, and we're still floating on cloud nine!
“We would recommend them 10 times over to anyone looking to elope.”

They were our biggest cheerleaders and just really special people to have with us on our wedding day. We’re already thinking about future sessions with them for life’s next milestones!
One of the best things about working with them is how intentional they make the whole process. They encourage you to treat key parts of planning as date nights, such as filling out the first questionnaire together, and viewing your final gallery to relive the whole day over again.
“We 1000% recommend Elope Wilder. Dom & Liz went above and beyond in every way.”
